SAD-IRON HEATER.

Specification of Letters Patent No To all whom; it may concern:

Be it known that I, Jnssn D. WHEELOOK, of Haysville, in the county ofDodge and State of WVisconsin, have invented a new and useful machinecalled a Sad-Iron Heater, of which the following is a full and exactdescription.

My invention consists in the improved manner of arranging the severalparts of the heater whereby greater convenience is attained, also in theparticular construction and adaptation of the heater to the use of theordinary flat or sad-irons, and in the application of the spiral springsfor the purpose of raising the table and throwing open the lids c c themoment the catches are removed. The table is for the purpose ofsustaining the irons while heating and throwing open the covers by aidof the springs. The lids or covers c 0 are for the purpose of retainingthe heat within the chamber when the irons are to be placed.

The letter A in the accompanying drawings represents the invention withthe doors and top open. This instrument or machine is designed to beround, square or octagonal.

.7) represents the top of the chamber in which the lamp is placed, andis directly under the sad-irons while heating, and consist-s of twohalves with hinges so as to open either or both sides, as occasion mayrequire.

c, 0, represents the cover in halves with hinges on the outer edge, thatshuts over the irons, and the small openings, with slides, on the righthand half of the cover, are for the handles of the sad-irons to passthrough when the cover is down. This cover is fastened down by thecatchesone on the front and the other on the back side.

d, d, cl, cl, represent 4E tubes passing 1&,004, dated December 25,1855.

from the bottom of the chamber which is to contain the irons when not inuse, to the top of the chamber or apartment above the lamp. At thebottom of these tubes are spiral wires, upon which the frame or table, Erests, the legs of which pass Within the tubes d, d, d, d, and uponwhich the irons rest while heating.

f is the chamber that contains the lamp for heatingcontaining one ormore tubes. The lamp goes in upon a spring slide in the bottom of theback side of the lamp, and at the end of the spring.

g is the door that closes the chamber containing the lamp with a catchby which it is fastened. The lower apartment h, is designed fordepositing the irons, when not in use and has a door i similar to theone above described. The handle g g is fastened to the sides of theimplement and passes in a circle over its top. The outside of thecompartment containing the lamp is perforated with several air holes.

The burning fluid for the lamp is is to be alcohol. The material of theimplement is to be either tin sheet iron or copper, or a combination ofthese materials.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent is The use orapplication of the spiral springs within the tubes d in combination withthe table E and lids c, c, in the manner substantially as described, forthe purposes specified.

In witness whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name the 16 day ofOctober in the year eighteen hundred and fifty five.
